Check out our interview with Toronto based journalist/Junior Battles band member Sam Sutherland over here. We discuss his new book, Perfect Youth: The Birth of Canadian Punk, which was released earlier this month through ECW Press. You can grab a copy here.

From the Interview

I was covering SXSW for work and I just sort of mentioned to him that I was working on the book. He lived in Seattle and I knew he was familiar with bands from BC like the Pointed Sticks, D.O.A. and the Subhumans. He just goes off talking about Teenage Head, D.O.A. and all these bands and I’m just thinking ‘I’m talking to Duff McKagan from Guns N’ Fucking Roses right now.’
